This is a great middle school level prank:

29 N.J. Eighth-Graders Get 2 Days Detention After Forking Over Nearly 6,000 Coins

They set up up a lunchtime prank via text messages, where a bunch of them brought in pennies to pay for lunch. Amusing, but here's the part that caught my eye: the reporting:

CBS 2 HD did the math -- Each student brought in 200 pennies. Multiply that by 29 you get close to 5,800 pennies.

"Close to"??? Never mind arithmetic skills; do none of these people have a calculator?
